Chop 1/2 red onion and add it to the bowl.

Cut 1 jalapeño in half and remove the seeds and veins, then add it to the bowl.

Add a handful of chopped cilantro to the bowl.

Open the can of sardines in tomato sauce, remove the bones and scales, and add the sardines to the bowl.

Add the tomato sauce from the sardine can to the bowl.

Squeeze the juice of 1/2 lime into the bowl.

Mix all the ingredients together gently, ensuring not to have huge chunks of sardines.
